Изживяване със звездобройство на върха на проекта „Тъмно небе“ в обсерваторията „Маунт Джон“

第一次參加觀星團 比官網更便宜 而且服務非常好，你不用擔心衣服不暖亂，他們會提供連身羽絨外套。好像有四五個尺碼！ 唯獨是可惜是因為我們參加當晚是正月十五。是滿月～所以對於觀星是有影響的、比我想像中有點差距。 暗黑計劃他們會把你從山下再載上天文台保護區，然後由專人講解關於天文各種現象，其中間會問大家有沒有關於天文各種疑問？如果對十二行星和一些專業天文英文詞彙不太懂的話 可能了解起來會有點吃力。 不過他們有早一點的中文場提供參加～而且他們會使用天文台裏面的超大型觀星天文望遠鏡這是我第一次接觸到的覺得非常神奇機會亦都很難得！但是如果遇上初一十五月圓日子的附近日期我建議別參加了，因為可能會比較失望。

此次導覽解說人員是來自台灣的Tonic，溫暖開朗的笑容及口吻另身為台灣的我倍感親切，他在天文學上詳盡的介紹讓我增長了不少知識，推薦有來Tekapo 旅遊的朋友不要錯過那麼有趣且知性的觀星行程。

雖然訂到英文講解，但是也很值得！人生有幾回能到觀星研究中心使用這麽精密儀器觀星，而且同時有三部在無光害的星空保護區分別看銀河、月亮、星星！是個很值得的體驗！

We are super lucky as the day we join the sky is clear, we manage to see clearly. The guide taught us lots of knowledge regarding to stargazing. They provide warm coat for everyone and I suggest everyone to wear it as it will gets colder during stargazing. I will strongly recommend this tour to traveler who visit tekapo.

Absolutely loved it! We had perfect clear skies the day we had our experience. We headed for the meeting point 20 minutes prior to our departure time to listen in on what the weather was doing (they give a quick briefing). We then got suited up with warm jackets and hopped on the bus up to the top of the hill. Absolutely fantastic experience and the ski looks incredible from the top of Mt John Summit. We swapped between 3x telescopes and spent time learning about the constellations which was great. Would highly recommend this experience! There is a cafe at the summit which is open during the day if you're self-driving and want the best view of Lake Tekapo too. Would highly recommend self-driving up during the day. When you finish your experience they take you back to the meeting point where the shop is open if you want to purchase anything afterwards

My family went for the 2-hour Summit Experience stargazing guided tour by the Dark Sky Project. It was awesome! At the working Mount John Observatory at the top of the mountain overlooking Lake Tekapo. Insightful and interesting sharing by the experts, including evolution of stars and use of three different telescopes such as in one of the observatory domes, to look at the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Jewel Box Cluster of stars, etc. A really unique, once-in-a-lifetime, memorable and both inspiring and inspirational experience 👍🙏😊

3/12/2024 當天因天氣關係，未能看到美麗的銀河，但中心同事Mok仍很有耐性細心地解釋我們對星空的問題，而親切的廣東話對答，令我們感覺更加溫暖，如同在遠方見到很久未見的朋友，另外因為我們因時間關係，未能改參加其他活動，可以全數退款，4/12我們再到中心參觀，同事Ada在退款手續上非常詳細解釋，亦有發電郵給我們同服務供應商跟進，每個同事的熱情款待，令我們整個旅程留下美好回憶，留侍下一次機會我們再次相遇，一起見證星空的奧秘。

上山下山共半小時，前45分鐘介紹星空，後45分鐘拍照以及看望遠鏡。介紹很詳細。導遊也幫忙拍照。

體驗：整趟體驗很棒！很值得 ！Annd 講解的很詳細，很有耐心，還會幫忙拍照，所以整個體驗很值得！ 設備：很齊全，會提供一件防風防寒衣服，超級保暖 安全性：會給一個人一個手燈，可以照腳下的路，也會提醒大家上車繫安全帶！

約翰山天文台觀星體驗超震撼，銀河清晰可見，導覽解說專業有趣，環境無光害非常夢幻，是此行最浪漫難忘的活動之一。
